Application tiled October 2a, 1921. Serial No. 509,877.

To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I LOUIS E. EnIosoN, a citizen of the United tates, residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented a new and useholder element of the device, so that the tag may be plainly seen by the prospective cus- H tomer, to provide a price tag holder which will hold securely to the support to which it is applied, and durability in use.

These and other'objects I attain by means of thedevice illustrated in the accompanyin drawings, in which- Tigure 1 is a side elevation and Figure 2 is a rear elevation.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts, throughout the several views of the drawings.

My price tag holder comprises a plate, 1, for receiving the price tag or card to be displayed, a coiled wire spring'clamp, 2; for attaching to a box, a shelf or other support or container of the goods for sale, and a sheet metal strap 3, which surrounds the coiled portion of clamp 2.

The holder plate 1 is made of sheet metal and flanged and channeled on three of its edges, so as to receive and hold flat a price tag or card which may be inserted under the flanges. A pivot, 4, is provided in its center, by which it is pivotallymounted on strap 3, so that it may swivel thereon to variouspositions relative to clamp 2, as may be required to properly display the tag. The dotted line in Fig. 2, shows one of these alternative positions. Several (letent lugs, 5, 6, etc., are formed on the back of the plate, on equal radii from pivot 4, adapted to engage a detent hole or depression, 2', formed in strap 3, which serves to hold the plate curely in any position to which it may be ad usted. Thus very simple provision is made for lateral angular adjustment.

The strap 3, is formed around the coil of clamp 2, between its legs, with a snug lit and provides frictional, angular adjustment in the vertical plane. so ment by pivot 4, plate versal adjustment. The the vertical ad'ustment.

The spring clamp 2 is formed of a single that. with the adjust- Patented July 25, 922.

l is adapted for unidotted line 9 shows 1 piece of spring wire, with a front ands rear U-shaped leg and-acoil at the upper end. The rear leg is preferably straight, so as. to lie flat against the side of a box or board, andthe front leg is preferably curved,

in order to clear flanges or other projections on a support. The rear leg is longer than the forward, to facilitate applying the clamp to a support, the clamp being grasped by the forward leg, the lower end of therear leg being engaged behind the support and the clamp being slid on.

Having thus described my invention, I claiml. A price tag holder. comprising a coiled spring clamp, and a channeled plate piv-' otally and frictionally mounted on the coil of said clamp for universal angular adjustment.

2. A rice tag holder, comprising a spring clamp formed of spring wire, with a forward and a rear'leg and a coil at its upper end, a strap mounted on the coil of said clam so that it may rotate thereonfor adustment in the vertical-plane. and a tag holding plate pivotally mounted on said strap, so that it may be turned for lateral adjustment.

3. A price tag holder, comprisinga clamp formed of spring wire with a forward and a rear leg so that sa d legs engage a support, and a coil joining the legs, a strap mounted on the coil of said clamp and frictionally engaging the coil so that it may be adjusted in the vertical plane and remain set, said strap being formed with a detent hole or lug and a pivot, and a tag holding plate formed with detent holes or lugs corresponding with the detent hole or lug'of said strap and mounted on the pivotof said strap so that it may be turned thereon for lateral angular adjust-
